"These bastards, we have to find a way to get rid of them! Otherwise, one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch!" Du Heng couldn't stand it anymore and spat on the ground, cursing.
"Yeah! That's right, they've only been separated for a short time, and they're already causing trouble! That's outrageous!"
However, with the Lunar New Year approaching, Lu Yuan was not in the mood to manage it, so he had no choice but to hand it over to Du Heng.
Du Heng stood up angrily and led several strong young men carrying sticks over.
Du Heng tapped the stone with a stick, and the noise from the other side immediately subsided.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys? If you don't want to celebrate the New Year, just say so! The grain we're giving you this time is meant for everyone to use during the New Year! Look at you all, acting like you've never seen anything like it before! Are you trying to rebel?!"
Several of the people below were already unhappy with Lu Yuan's distribution this time. They had finally managed to get some meat and grain for the festival, and of course they wanted to get a larger share so they could save it for later. But they didn't expect Du Heng to interfere at this time.
A bald man stood up, pointed at Du Heng's nose, and cursed, "Who do you think you are! How dare you tell us what to do? Let me tell you, all these things belong to us, and we can divide them however we want! It's none of your business to tell us what to do!"
Standing opposite the bald man, a weasel-faced man with a pointed chin couldn't help but sneer, "That's right, you guys in the East District are doing well, is it not enough for us to envy you? Go ahead and do whatever disgusting things you want! We can handle it!"
These two were originally the ones who started the argument, but unexpectedly, as soon as Du Heng arrived, they immediately became one side.
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Du Heng was instantly enraged. He pointed at them with an iron rod in his hand and said, "You two have the guts to say that again?"
"Heh! You want to hit me? Come on! Try it! Let me tell you, even though it's the apocalypse now, the camp still has its rules. If you mess with me, I want to see how Lu Yuan deals with you!"
Du Heng was furious, his face flushed. He didn't know whether to hit him or not. Holding the stick, he was in a dilemma. He gritted his teeth and really wanted to give this bastard a good beating, but when he thought about how this might affect Lu Yuan's rule, he hesitated for a moment and decided to ignore it.
Just then, a figure appeared behind Du Heng. Lu Yuan stood behind him and gently patted his shoulder: "Old Du, your wife wants you to go back! You'd better go back and check on her!"
Du Heng turned around and saw that it was Lu Yuan. He was grateful, but he still couldn't swallow his anger.
"Old Lu, these bastards are going too far!"
"Hehe! It's alright, I'm here! You go back first!"
When Du Heng saw Lu Yuan's appearance, he immediately knew that these people were in trouble.
So he could only nod slightly and move to Lu Yuan's side.
"Who said you wanted to embarrass me?"
Upon seeing that it was Lu Yuan, the group immediately shrank back, intending to play dumb.
"Heh! You have the guts to say it but not the guts to stand up! Fine! Since you don't intend for us to manage it, fine, I'll give you a chance! Starting today, you'll manage your West District yourselves! We won't be responsible anymore, how about that?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Baldy and Skinny Monkey exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with excitement. They had long been dissatisfied with Lu Yuan's management, but they had been holding back because everyone trusted him.
Now, Lu Yuan proposed separate autonomy, which immediately delighted them.
Finally, the bald man spoke up: "Lu Yuan, is what you said true?"
Lu Yuan shrugged: "Of course, I'm telling the truth. It's up to you if you're willing! If you're not, you can come and sign up here. I'll give you three days. You won't be accepted after that!"
"Okay! You said it yourself! We'll manage ourselves!"
The skinny monkey seemed to have thought of something, so he leaned close to the bald man's ear and whispered a few words.
The bald man immediately understood and quickly said, "Separating the family is fine, but our people put in a lot of effort in the camp back then. You must make sure these things are clearly separated! Otherwise, all our efforts during this time will have been in vain!"
Lu Yuan sneered. This was simply outrageous. The reason these people were assigned to the West District was because they had been slacking off at work. Now they wanted to claim that they could share the grain and livestock equally. How could that be possible? Not to mention that those plants and animals were high-yield varieties that Lu Yuan had painstakingly cultivated from the dimensional space, even if they were given the grain in their current state, it would be like giving it away for free. Lu Yuan was not a fool, and of course he would not suffer such a loss.
"Heh! To distinguish clearly? What a fine way to distinguish! How much do you think you should each divide?"
The two bald men muttered to themselves for a while, then said, "Half for each of us! We won't take more! We're all the same, you have to give us half! Otherwise, we won't let you have a proper New Year!"
"Hahaha! That's hilarious! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me? If it weren't for me, do you think you would still be alive today? If I hadn't led everyone to reclaim wasteland and farm the land, do you think you could eat rice and meat every day?"
One sentence left the other side speechless. That's right, without Lu Yuan, they didn't know what kind of life they would be living now, and they might even starve to death. But if they didn't split up this time, they might face Lu Yuan's continued rule, and the other side would come to annoy them from time to time.
